Seeing Red — Peter Lancett

Tom Hathaway has got it all, including loads of style. But intrigued by the mysterious, scarred Sylvia, he becomes increasingly drawn to the cut of the flesh rather than the cut of the cloth.

Cutting Edge series is a series for young adults who find conventional fiction irrelevant or too hard to read. The series takes an honest and hard-hitting approach to subject matter that many teens will identify with, such as self-abuse, family breakdown, suicide, and sexuality. At 25,000 to 35,000 words, the books are shorter than your average novel, but they dont look like it. The clear, carefully chosen font is slightly larger than normal, and paragraphs are broken with a space.
